[whatwg] Why are video's width & height DOMString?

[Yaar Schnitman]

Hi,

According to [1], the video's width & height attributes are DOMString, but
according to [2] width & height "must have values that are valid
non-negative integers".
Shouldn't they be long then?

Digging deeper, I found that video, iframe, embed and object all have
DOMString width & height attributes, but img specifies width & height to be
long [3]. For consistency, shouldn't all of them be the same?

Thanks,
Yaar
